History

Mr. Yama was the undisputed bot-fighter champion in San Fransokyo's underground bot fights with his prize robot, Little Yama. After defeating an unfortunate contender, a boy named Hiro Hamada shows up and asked if he could participate with his own robot. Yama, underwhelmed by Hiro's naive demeanor, agreed to fight the boy. When Hiro's bot seemed to collapse after the first round, Yama was about to gloat in his victory until Hiro bribed him with more money for a rematch. The confident Yama accepted this and the match restarted.

However, Hiro's bot was revealed to be highly advanced, quickly repairing itself and destroying Little Yama with ease. Hiro brazenly boasted about his victory until Yama, out of spite, had his goons attack the boy and chase him into the alley. When the group seemed to have Hiro cornered, Hiro's brother Tadashi Hamada rescued him on his moped and got away from the goons.

The brothers, along with Yama's gang and everyone in the bot fights, were caught and arrested by the San Fransokyo police during the escape. Yama and his gang were forced to share a cramped cell with Tadashi, while Hiro has a separate cell to himself due to being a minor. Hiro and Tadashi were released that same night on account of their aunt, while Yama and his henchmen were presumably left imprisoned in the police station.[1]
